Let's Go On An Adventure

“Having a soft heart in a cruel world is courage, not weakness.”

— Katherine Henson

the feminine urge to run barefoot into the forest. to read and make art. to tell people how much they mean to you. to pick pretty flowers and put them in someone’s hair. to stare at the sky and see your own breath as you breathe in the changing air.

“In college I had a physics professor who wrote the date and time in red marker on a sheet of white paper and then lit the paper on fire and placed it on a metallic mesh basket on the lab table where it burned to ashes. He asked us whether or not the information on the paper was destroyed and not recoverable, and of course we were wrong, because physics tells us that information is never lost, not even in a black hole, and that what is seemingly destroyed is, in fact, retrievable. In that burning paper the markings of ink on the page are preserved in the way the flame flickers and the smoke curls. Wildly distorted to the point of chaos, the information is nonetheless not dead. Nothing, really, dies. Nothing dies. Nothing dies.”

— Nicholas Rombes, The Absolution of Roberto Acestes Laing (via bobschofield)

(instru)mental breakdown

I Am Still Thinking About Free Guy. Why Did Ryan Reynolds Slap That Car’s Ass. Why Is Harmbo Villain Taika Waititi So Hot. Why Is This The First Original Movie In A Decade. Why Did I Think I Would Hate It. Why Did They Make The Dude’s Tits So Big.

That intimate moment between you and the book you have just read the last words of, where you sit there taking in the enormity of what you have just finished.

The signs aesthetics

(check your sun, moon, and rising)

Aries: bright red lipstick, combat boots, a night city lit by neon lights, wrestling with your friends, mona lisa’s smile, wondering if someone thinks about you, fairy lights, baseball bats, biting into a fresh apple, converse, doodling in class, stained glass windows, fields of daises, making snow angels

Taurus: forest fairies, strolling though an orange grove on a warm day, mossy rocks, singing into your hairbrush, wild horses, fluffy socks, fresh baked cookies, dark lipstick, orange sunsets, polaroids, soft bunnies, laughing so hard you cant breathe, placing succulents everywhere

Gemini: clouds, writing in the air with sparklers, fruit trees, stargazing with a best friend, minimalist art, carefully stepping around delicate flowers, old records, rainbows, watching people in a busy city, listening to music in the shower, iced lemonade, violets, getting lost in happy memories, typewriters

Cancer: a mediterranean breeze, peaches, holding you breath as long as you can, dangling your feet over a watery cliff, angels wings, shy smiles, fields of lavender, laughing at old photos, sunlight glistening off water, drinking tea and staring out a rainy window

Leo: diamond earrings, feeling the warmth of a bonfire, entertaining your friends and loved ones, bright early mornings, giving flowers to your favorite person, reading for hours, milkshakes, wondering how many places you’ll go, gold glitter, rollerblading, heart shaped sunglasses

Virgo: the london skyline, cheering for your friends, floral patterns, beautiful hair, riding a bike down an old brick street, finding the perfect candle, a peaceful yellow house on a hill, silk dresses flowing in the wind, watching the fog roll in off the sea, reading into the early hours of the morning, snuggling in an oversized sweater Libra: pastel smoke bombs, picking sunflowers at dawn, falling in love with the moment every time your friends laugh, tea with milk and sugar, a cat basking in the suns rays, bubble baths, freeze dried roses, holographic paint, sleeping under a skylight, the babble of a coffee shop, collecting stickers to put on your laptop Scorpio: a shadowy forest, setting off firecrackers at midnight, fluffy white cats, pink rain boots, falling asleep to the sound of a storm, wearing multiple bracelets, hiking with your buddies, knowing what people are thinking just by looking at them, a mysterious crystal ball, taking hot hour long showers, watching smoke rise Sagittarius: wandering though the woods, wishing on shooting stars, tall evergreen trees poking though heavy fog, multicolored sunsets, hugging your best friend after not seeing them for awhile, paint stained hands, an old grand piano, fishing in a creek, kicking a rock down the road as you walk, a bouquet of tulips, large windows with drawn back curtains Capricorn: sage, 80s blazers, being stuck after sitting in a leather seat for too long, roadmaps scattered around, staring in awe at someones eyes, tall gates on a graveyard, bird watching, waking up in a new city, walking through a greenhouse, the scent of old books, getting lost in your favorite music Aquarius: jelly shoes, admiring a child’s wonder, looking though a thrift shop for hours, sitting on a sidewalk watching people as they go by, knit socks, collecting plastic shopping bags, house plants, wearing odd colors of nail polish, standing on a tall building and taking a deep breath, ivy crawling up a garden wall, Pisces: daydreaming, walking though a field barefoot, closing your eyes and listening to the sound of a waterfall, clear puddles, chocolate milk, moonlight shimmering off the ocean, getting lost in a garden of flowers, a ships sails, sea foam, dandelions growing out of the sidewalk, crystals, betta fish

How wild is it that every version of you probably exists still, somewhere, in someone’s memory? The messy you, crying on the floor exists still in your mind. The happy, sun-soaked you, exists in your best friend’s memory. No part of you has died, all parts of us exist always, simultaneously and hidden. 

I sat with my anger long enough until she told me her real name was grief.

— C.S. Lewis

You made it sad

when we’re not together we’re on each other’s mind
